DePaul College Prep is a Catholic high school located in Chicago, Illinois, United States. It is located on the north side of Chicago at 3300 N Campbell Ave. DePaul College Prep is sponsored by the Western Province of the Congregation of the Mission, also known as the Vincentians. School history Gordon Technical High School opened in 1952 as an all-male school at the corner of Division Street and Greenview Avenue in Chicago's Polish Downtown with an initial enrollment of 325 students. The school was originally named in honor of the Very Reverend Francis Gordon, an influential and high-ranking member of the Congregation of the Resurrection, a Polish religious order. Its first principal was the Rev. John Dzielski C.R. The school was located at the previous campus of Archbishop Weber High School, also run by the Congregation of the Resurrection, which had relocated to the Belmont-Cragin neighborhood in 1950.

In 2012, a group of trustees and administrators of DePaul University was asked by the Archdiocese of Chicago and the priests and brothers of the Congregation of the Resurrection to assist Gordon Tech College Prep. As the academic partnership with DePaul University progressed, the Board of Directors announced on March 12, 2014 that the names of the high school and its campus would be changed to DePaul College Prep and the Father Gordon Campus, respectively, as early as summer of that year. The religious sponsorship of the school transferred from the Resurrectionists to the Vincentians in September 2019.
